Here's the URL. I didn't even munge it, since it should get past the filters.
I get a forbidden error from Yahoo when I go to that URL - Certainly doesn't seem to work too well as a redirector.

Still works for me (in MSI Explorer 6).
Because the mailing list software has folded the url onto mutliple lines, I had to painstakingly copy and paste the separate parts into the browser to recompose the whole url before clicking enter (or use a text editor to do the same job)
In the original spam message it was all much more straightforward. I just clicked the link.
Out of curiosity, I just tried it out with Opera and that has the same issues as MSIE and redirects to the spam site without difficulty.
Instead, Firefox was not fooled: like spamcopuri it gets a forbidden error and does not redirect.
